The New Diabetic Cookbook: More Than 200 Delicious Recipes f
This book I found is for the American market, a lot of the recipes have ingrediants that aren't available in the UK (liquid egg for instance (not that I can find anyway)), also it offers temperatures for electric ovens but no sort of conversion for gas powered ovens.

I was completely disappointed in the book.

new diabetic cookbook
this is a well written and thought out book. very good for people who have only just discovered they have diabetus.

Dull for diabetics
I was disappointed that this book is so US orientated, using food swaps, etc which we don't in the UK. Everything is measured in cups, quarts, etc. and uses unfamiliar ingredients, eg Graham Crackers.
You don't get to recipes (in a cookbook?) until page 121 and then they are really not very interesting, with far too many ingedients that seem unneccessary: what difference would 1/8 tsp of black pepper make in a soup that has 2 quarts of water and a pound and a half of beef? What the heck is a 'whisper' of pepper anyway? How different is it from 1/16 tsp which is the smallest amount mentioned?
If you are diabetic and like to eat well, Anthony Worrall Thompson's GI and diabetic diet books are a much better bet.
